Complexity
Article Abstract:
'Complexity' practices are constituted as a sort of self-organizing global network that is spreading complexity notions around the globe. There is an emerging 'structure of feeling' that complexity approaches both signify and enhance, which involves a greater sense of contingent openness to people, corporations and societies, of the unpredictability of outcomes in time-space, of a charity toward objects and nature, and others.
